Love Is This Poem by Kolawole Emmanuel

LOVE IS THIS

'For the woman, that left'

We have all been here
Except that kid
that never had the grace to grow.

How else could I have convince you
That I care; and love you,
and I want us to grow?

I have always had this dream
Living with me
More like a friend,
Of someday, finding a mate,
whom will share with me an affection
And maybe
Tangle with me like concoction.

Whom will born for me, a baby girl
My child,
Whom I will raise with so much love!
Whom I will watch, grow!
Into a beautiful woman.

But dreams are dreams,
They don't often come to past!
And love is this.
A journey of sad goodbyes.
